Patent Litigation

A Bedrock of Patent Law:

The law provides that “[u]pon finding for the claimant the court shall award the claimant damages adequate to compensate for the infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the invention by the infringer, together with interest and costs as fixed by the court….”. 35 U.S.C § 284

What is a Patent, and Why Is There Patent Litigation?

On its website, the United States Patent and Trademark Office describes a patent as “an intellectual property right granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that gives a patent owner the right ‘to exclude others from making using, offering for sales, or selling the invention throughout the United States or importing the invention into the United States’ for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted. The ‘invention’ is set forth by a patent’s ‘claims,’ and individual claims of a patent or patent application may be challenged . . . “

In simple English, a patent is a legal tool for protecting your invention for a set period of time, during which no one else can make, use or sell it. So, a patent gives you a limited-time monopoly that allows you to be the sole maker of your invention—which, obviously, has huge financial and marketing implications. In general, a patent can last up to 20 years from the time of filing, although the actual period depends on a variety of factors. Patents tend to be filed by inventors, entrepreneurs, universities, business start-ups and companies of all sizes.

In fact, wherever technology and the law collide, chances are it’s around patent litigation: legal action surrounding patent infringement. At Nexio, we represent parties on both sides of the equation: those who need to pursue patent violations, and those who need to defend patent infringement claims.

If you feel someone is illegally benefitting from your invention, or that you’re being unfairly targeted for marketing or selling a patented product, it’s time to call Nexio.
